| IT Is NOT RIGHT.-We notice that there
ale people in Henderson, as elsewhere,
who seem to think nothing they can buy at
home is as good as if it came from distance,
and SO they send away for many things that
| they should buy here. This is not right
1t may he that some things can be bought
little cheaper in New York or Baltimore
but all things considered, the difference Is
so little, it is to their interest in the long
run to trade with their home dealers
| There are many people themselves dc.
pendent upon others for their patronage
who encourage this sort of thing-by doing
| it themselves. They should remember
that though the same article may cost them
a little more at home than they might be
able to obtain it for elsewhere vet the
money stays at home and they get the ben.
eft of its circulation. Patr0nize each
other and then we will be prosperous
Stick to each other and remember "dl.
vided house cannot stand"

DEATH OF SUMMER.-One of our ex-
changes gets bit sentimental and INDUCES
in the following touching farewell to sum
mer, L says: The requiem of Summer,
dead and gone, is heard in the signing
winds, in the rustling leaves seen in the
dying roses and the departing blooms. Soon
the russell robes of gray and brown will
cover all, and Winter, furred and frosty,
will lift his wand of ice and chill the
world. Farewell, Summer But thou shalt
bloom again"
Winter is now upon us and the golden
haze Of these mornings tells us that the
dying year is being measured for its white
robe of SHOW. The scar and yellow leaf is
rustling through the deep tangled wild
wool, while the jack rabbit is playing leap
frog over the unhallowcd' tomb of the
murky past. 1t is time like this that
memory crowds upon us her panorama of
| decaying hopes and the juicy oyster is
taken into the confidence of the human
family.
